10 Video Game Bosses That Used Your Best Move Against You

10. Mimic Tear - Elden Ring

Elden Ring is, in typical FromSoft fashion, full of crafty and dastardly baddies who can obliterate you with no problem. Margott The Omen King, the Godskin Duo, Malenia Blade of Miquella, and more certainly have their unique tricks, but this enemy looked directly at you and said, "I'll have what they're having."

The Mimic Tear is an optional boss that feels less like a battle with an epic monster and more like an encounter with yourself as it shapes itself to become identical to you. In many ways, you can think of it as Ditto from Pokemon, only way more violent, less wholesome, and much tougher to beat.

This creature mimics your look, weapons, and build, giving you a full chance to fight against the work and skills you've put into the game, and even assess your progress. Naturally, this gives the boss fight a unique and fun edge, as you have to contend with a whole new sort of challenge and take a look at your Tarnished.

However, you can take advantage of this creatures abilities by grabbing the Mimic Tear Spirit Ash, which essentially doubles your power by allowing you to summon a direct copy of your character. Buy one, get one free!
